I need QBO to calculate the GST portion and record it separately as an Input Tax Credit.Only the net amount excluding GST should be posted to the related expense account

For purchases that include PST, I don’t want PST tracked separately because I don’t remit it. It should just stay part of the expense. I also need the option to manually adjust or enter the GST amount if necessary. 2. Sales / Income When I record sales that include GST, the GST portion should be tracked separately as a liability (GST Collected) and not included in the sales revenue total. Thank you.

We can take the necessary steps to address your specific tax queries, Kbm-marineservices.

 

To simplify tracking, you can combine the PST amount with the total expense. When making a purchase, record the total amount paid, including PST, and assign it to the appropriate expense category, such as repairs and maintenance.

 

For GST, a tax-inclusive rate must be used. When recording a purchase, enter the total amount paid, and QuickBooks will automatically calculate and separate the GST portion. You can then manually adjust the GST amount before saving the transaction.

 

In QuickBooks Online (QBO), you'll need to set up a tax code or sales item to track GST on sales liability. When recording a sale, apply this tax code, and QuickBooks will calculate the GST automatically based on the sale amount.
